Ruby, oh, Ruby. Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad at your man?

Well, I'm goin' downtown. Gonna get me a jug of brandy. Gonna give it all to Mandy.
Keep her drunk and boozy. Good drunk and boozy. Good drunk and boozy all the time.

Well, if you say so, then I'll railroad no mo'. I'll just hang around your shanty.
Hang around your shanty. Hang around your shanty all the time.

Ruby, oh, Ruby. Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad at your man?

Well, I'm walkin' on down till my shoes are getting' ragged. I'm getting' me down to Nashville.
Get me down to Nashville. Get me down to Nashville, Tennessee.

Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad? Honey, are you mad at your man?

Ruby, oh, Ruby.
